Santa Anna, immediately after his defeat, turned his face towards the city of Mexico. This retreat was disastrous in the extreme, in consequence of the insufficient supply of pro­visions for the army. But it was necessary ill order to check a revolution which had been going on in the city for somc' time. He reach­ed the capital on the 20th of March, and on the 23d he took the oath of office as President of t11e Republic-thuB putting au end to the sanguinary civil commotions.

, A Mr. Sibell of Florida has a heavy claim which he is prosecuting against the Treasury; and his coun3el are the Vice-President, Mr. Webster, Mr. Berri~n, Mr. ~en~ D. Gilpin, and Mr. Thomas L. SmIth, of t~IS City, late Register of the Treasury. The claim covers a margin of $1,700,000. Mr. Sibell owned a large property in Florida pending the late Seminole war saw­mills for live oak, and variou's other improve­ments upon (t' large tract of land the whole of ,~hich were br~ken up by the U.' S. army, and h~,~ whole busmess desl.royed. He petitioned Congress; anq at the sesBion of '45-'6 an act wils passed for his relief to tbe amount of $18,-000. ,He was not Batisfied. And at the last seBsion a bill was passed authorizing the claim to be settl~d by the Secretary of the Treasury on the principles of equity and justice. Hence the demand for $1,700,000 for indemnity.

General Scott, at the last ad vices, was organ­izing hiB forces to proceed to the interior and the city of Mexico. ' He had already Bent forward a force sufficient to capture Alvarado. He would have about 13,000 effectives, who expect­ed a battle at Punte ael Rey, but were confident

of victory. Gen. Taylor iB also 011 his way ~o the interior

of' Mexico. It is reported that an advance party of his army overtook a body of Mexicans under Gens. Urrea and Canales, fought them seven ho~'s, and finally gained th~ vict~ry on the arrival of the main body of the army under Gen. Taylor. This is only a rumor.

There is much difference of opinion as to the prospects of peace, and nobody can calculate what tum things will take. A Guadalajara paper publishes the terms offered by our go;em­ment for peace tlll'ough Atocha. The principal one was in bIief, fifteen millions to be paid Mexico for the line of 26" from the Gulf to the Pacific, and the United States to demand no ex­penses of the war. The.Be expenses are estimated at thirteen millions. making a total of twenty-eight millions for the telTitory north of 26 degrees.

• "Lo, TilE POOR INmAN! "-"A family of

Choctaw Indians, whose ancestors have lived immemorially in our vicinity, says the Baton Rouge (La.,) Conservator of the 3d inst., and who, from a once powerful body, aie now dwindled down to some half dozen degraded beings, engaged themselves laBt week in the solemn office of a capital puniBhment. It has been long known that one of the family, in a drunken brawJ, killed another, and that puniBh­ment must follow, but the murderer, and the friends of the murdered, have for months visited and camped together upon equal terms, ap' parently enjoying the mOBt perfect social inter­courBe. On Saturday last, the poor wretcheB, covered with ragB, and scarcely provided with food to keep their souls and bodies together, camped in a beautiful piece of woods near our town, and commenced the solemn ceremonies of funeral, th!J victim taking part with them. To­ward nightfall, the preparations were finished. and the poor Indian exposed his naked breast -a load of buckshot, fired by hiB nearest rela­tive, pierced his heart, and he fell a corpse. Nearly three days were consumed in weeping over his grave, and then the retributors of justice wended their way off to the swamps.

TUB PAlIPER'S DEATH-BED. BY CAROLINE SOUTHEY.

Tread softly-bow the head­In reverent silence bow­

No passing bell doth toll-Yet an immortal soul

Is passing now_

Stranger! however great, With holy reverence bow;

There'. one in that poor shed­One by that paltry bed­

Greater than thon.

Beneath that beggar's roof, Lo,! death doth keep hi!! state;

Entet'-'no crowds attend­Entel'-no guards defend

This palace gate.

New Year~s morning rose over the little corpse as it sat with the matches, of which a bundle was. burnt. She had been trying to warm herself, said they! But no one knew what beautiful things· she had seen­in what splendor and gladness she had enter­ed with her old grandmother into New Year's joys_

• AFFECTING STORY.

The following story we heard a sbort time since from a young female in humble life-an emigrant from Ireland. During tlle recital, the expression of her fine intellectual face, her fast flowing tears, attested a truth we all admit -that warm hearts and gentle sympathies may exist where the refinements of polished life are wanting. The narrative is in our hands-it has lost, along with the strong accents of her coun­try, the touching simplicity of her original nar­ration.

PURE WATER THE BEs'T DRINK.-Tbere is no axiom of health more just than '" men never have a true appetite till they can eat witb rel­ish any ordinary fooo," It is told of John Cai­les, who lived to th'e age ofl28, that his food, for the most part, consisted of brown bread alld cheese, and his ddnk water and milk. He had survived the whole town of Northampton, (Eng.) three or four times over, with a few exceptions, and said strong drink, (inclUding tea and colfee,) killed them all, though this assertion is rather too general. Water manifestly is the natural beverage of all animals; whole nations, as the Mahomedans and Hindoos, use it alone as a beverage, Unlike other ~rink, it does Tlot stale the appetite, but the contrary; indeed, it was observed by Hippocrates, about two thousand years ago, that water-drinkers have generally keen appetites. Water is a fluid that requires no digestion, for it is not necessary that it should undergo any changes, it is the natural menstruum tbat holds in solution both what is essential for the nutrition and healthy functions of the body, and what has become refuse, after having seI'ved its destined office in the animal eQonomy. Wa­teI', therefore. from its congenial qualities, can never much disturb the system, except it be ta­ken immoderately, when'the body is over-heat­ed. It is told of Lord Hatfield, so wen known for his . hardy habits of military discipline and watchfulness, that" his food was vegetables, and his drink water, never indulging .llimselfin ani­mal food or wine;" and Sir John Sinclair, in his work on longevity, says, in the account of Mary Campbell, then aged 105, that she prefer­red pure water t~ any 6ther drink.

. A physician in Georgia, says, that in a.ttempt-109 to prepare gun cotton from a receIpt s~mt him by a brother physician, he was unsu.ccess­ful, and found, to his astonisliment, tbat hiS cot· ton would neither explode nor ignite, being anti-iuflammable. On investigating, to find out the cause, he found that he had not used the right acid_ He repeated the process, and the result was the same; so that he claims to have discovered a: method of rendering cotton incom­bustible. He says that this cotton can be pre­pared with little expense, as' he has tested the matter sufficiently to ,know; that it can be manufactured into cloth, the lint and texture of the cotton not being in the least injured, but capable of being made into clotlling; with as much ease as from ~common material.

The Flushing Journal says that a lady in that town cured herself of a dropsy in the chest, by using the root of the garden parsley. A few cleaned roots were boiled in a quart of water, until it was diminished to a pint, Repeatedly during the day a small quantity was taken, mix­ed with a portion of gin, and evory symptom disappeared. After a few dpses the gin was omitted, and the decoction only u~ed. The Journal vouches for the truth of this' case.

" The steerage of our ship was crowded with passengers of aU ages, and before we had been long at sea, a malignant disease broke out among the children on board. One after another sickened and died, and each was in its tum wrapped in its naITOW shroud and commit­ted to the deep, with no requiem but the burst­ina sigh of a fond mother, and no obsequies b;t the teaI·S of fathers and bl'others and pitying spectators. As they sullenly plunged iuto the sea, and the blue waves closed over them, I clasped my own babe m9re strongly to my bo­som, and prayed'that Heaven might spare my only child. But this was not to be, It sickened, and day by day I saw that its life was ebbing, and

• A DINNER IN CHINA..

• HORSE STORY.-A writer in the Boston Cou­

rier tells the following anecdote of a horse. The incident occurred in a town adjoining this city.

A butcher, my neighbor, recently went to a pasture where, the famify horse was usually turn­ed ",heh idle, to get a calf which he had pur­chasea for slaughter. Finding difficulty in oth­erwise c'atchirig him, he set a large bull-dog upon tbe calf, which soon brought him to the ground, utter~ng the most piercing cries. The horse, which ti1l now had seemingly paid no at­tention, aroused by the cries of distress, no sooner perceived the perilous condition of his helpless companion, than with ears raised, jaws distended, main and tail erect, he hastened to his relief!

The dog still continued his hold, despite the threatening aspect of the horse, when the noble fellow, fastening his teeth upon the dog, with one toss threw him completely over an adjacent fence! Meanwhile the butcher had approached so near as to catch hold of the calf as he was rising, which the horse perceiving he turned up­on him with bis posterior artillery. throwing his heels every time still nearer the butcher's head, until he was glad to relinquish his hold. With what a proud and exultant air he pranced around his liberated charge, with head and tail erect, snorting defiance to all oppressors! In fact, before the butcher could secure his subject, he had first to secure this champion in the sta­ble.

• COSTUME' OF FORMER Tums.-When Gov.

Bowdoin reviewed the troops of Massachusetts, in 1747, he was dressed in a gray wig, cockeij. hat, and white broadcloth coat and waistcoat, red small clothes, and black si\k stockings.

. The Judges of the Supreme Court of Mas­sachusetts, as late as 1803, wore robes of scarlet, faced with black velvet, and in summel-, black silk gowns. .

In 1783, Gen. Washington al'1'ived ill New York, from Mount Vernon, tu assume the duties of the Presidency. He was dressed in a 'full suit of Virginia homespun. On h~isit to New England soon after, he wore the olit continental uniform, except on Sunday, when he appeared in black.

John Adams, when :Vice President, wore a sword, and walked the streets with his hat under his arm_

At his levees in Philadelphia, President Washington was clad in black velvet, his hail' was powdered, and gathered behind in a silk bag, yelIow gloves, knee 'and shoe buckles; he held in his hand a cocked hat, ornamented with a cockade, fringed about an inch deep, with blatk feathers-a long sword, in a white leather scabbard, witlj a polished steel hilt, hung at his hip.
